Saint Laurent: Serial & UK Price Index

Modern Saint Laurent bags stamp an alphanumeric code inside the interior pocket following the pattern LLLNNNNNN.MMYY (e.g. GBR377828.1021): a 3-letter workshop code, a 6-digit style code matching the paper retail tag, a dot separator, and the 2-digit month + 2-digit year.

DESIGNER STAMP SPECIFICATION & FORMAT AUDIT 10 DESIGNER BRANDS · 47 UK HANDBAG MODELS · GBP (£)
Mandatory Non-Authentication, Superfake & Zero-Liability Notice: (1) Format Match ≠ Authentic Bag (Superfakes Slip Through): High-grade counterfeits (“superfakes”) routinely copy and clone genuine serial numbers, date codes, and blind stamps from real bags. A matching code format only means the sequence fits historical production records; a counterfeit bag carrying a cloned sequence can and will pass a code-only check. (2) Zero Liability / Informational Benchmark Only: The Atelier Index (Carly Litwin trading as The Atelier Index) is an independent editorial archive and statistical price index. We never physically inspect handbags, never issue certificates of authenticity, and accept zero liability or financial responsibility for any purchase, sale, authentication dispute, or loss on third-party marketplaces (eBay, Vinted, Vestiaire Collective, auction houses, or private sales). (3) Pro-Authenticity & Non-Affiliation: We are strictly pro-authenticity and anti-counterfeit: our tool exists to help collectors spot obvious factory/date mismatches early and to steer buyers toward authorised boutiques and physical multi-point authentication before any funds change hands. Independent publication under UK nominative fair-dealing principles; not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by, or sponsored by any designer brand.
02 / PRODUCTION ERAS & FORMAT GRAMMAR

Saint Laurent Coding System: 3-Letter Workshop Prefix + 6-Digit Style Code + MMYY Date Stamp

Production EraStamp / Serial FormatArchival Format & Hardware Inspection Notes
Pre-2013 (Yves Saint Laurent) 6-Digit Style + 6-Digit Workshop + MMYY (123456.213317) Kering two-part numeric stamp similar to Gucci.
2013 – Present (Saint Laurent Paris) LLLNNNNNN.MMYY (e.g. GBR377828.1021 = October 2021) Three uppercase workshop letters (such as GBR, GUE, PLB, ALM, CFN, PMR, FLY) + 6-digit model code + dot + MMYY production month and year.

Primary Counterfeit Red Flags for Saint Laurent

  • Month digits after the dot exceeding 12 (e.g. .1522).
  • 6-digit style code does not match the model silhouette (e.g. 377828 belongs to the Classic Monogram Chain Wallet, 498894 to the LouLou Small).
